Newspaper Clippings

Hei Hei. first post for me here so hello all.

I am starting a project for an actor friend of mine who as part of his site would like to show many of the reviews written about his performances. The problem im finding obviously is that its very difficult to display the clippings on screen as they generally dont read very well, some of the articles are huge some tiny and was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas about a good way of overcoming this problem.

The images all will be integrated dynamically.

I was thinking about having a box on the stage that resizes to fit the articles but if over a specified size would give the option to zoom or scroll very much like those map apps you often see, its one idea but would be interested in what you guys think of this.

any ideas would be great...

Thanks

I hope you understand my explanation, and I hope it can be done in flash, but if not, please tell me a program to do it, thank you.

Spinning Newspaper
I would like to re-produce a spinning newpaper headline like you see in the movies. Would anybody have any suggestions as to the best way of doing this. Although I have an image and can rotate it, I do not get the fast spinning effect.

Any help would be greatfully received.

Newspaper-like Text Columns
Hi,

I have seen many flash pages that format their articles into newspaper-like
columns.
How it is done?

Thanks in advance,
B.
